Is it possible that the OpenMoko PCB design files, or Leonardo schematics
for the modem board you based FCDEV3B on were not the very latest? I'm
thinking that perhaps OpenMoko or TI's Leonardo had a hardware defect and
a more recent version of the design were to fix this problem.

In this case a new batch with RoHS balls or a different flash+pSRAM
chip would most likely not fix the problem. However one could try to reverse
a GTA02 board to spot differences between it and FCDEV3B, and perhaps try
to perform small modifications on an FCDEV3B to see if it improves things.
I would be glad to help with such a project, unfortunately my knowledge
of electronics is likely way too basic for this.
